"1,000 Organizations Exposed to Remote Attacks by FileWave MDM Vulnerabilities"
Security researchers at Claroty discovered vulnerabilities affecting a mobile device management (MDM) product from FileWave, exposing many organizations to remote attacks. FileWave MDM product is affected by two critical security holes: an authentication bypass issue (CVE-2022-34907) and a hardcoded cryptographic key (CVE-2022-34906). The researchers noted that after notifying the vendor, they quickly patched the flaws. The researchers noted that the authentication bypass vulnerability could allow a remote attacker to achieve “super_user” access and take full control of an internet-connected MDM instance. From there, the attacker could hack all devices managed using the FileWave product, including to steal sensitive information and deliver malware. The researchers identified more than 1,100 internet-exposed instances of the vulnerable MDM server, including ones housed by corporations, educational institutions, government agencies, and SMBs. FileWave patched the vulnerability in version 14.7.2, which it released earlier this month.
